It’s time for that NFL Review:
I like to play some different artists when doing this post but I’m sticking with the Volta today in the concert that made me a huge fan. Its below, sorta loud and over 45 minutes long, so if you’re playing it at work, be forwarned. BTW, its totally safe for work, no cursing or anything just the most mindblowing music you’ve listened to in a while:
I’ll make a quick mention of my fantasy football team and keep it moving. I’ve made it to the championship week and I’m very happy about it. I’ll give you the details of the final results next week.
Detroit: I was reading an interview with Jemele Hill recently and she was talking about how the auto makers “bailout” is a loan, and said if this whole thing was happening in Texas or Florida, then things may be different.

You know what, I’m tired of the bitching. She even tries to play the “Black athlete is a victim card.”
THEY BROKE THE DAMN LAW!
Michael Vick, criminal. Plaxico Burress, you carry around an unlicensed gun, criminal. Pacman Jones, uber criminal.
People lose jobs, people die, life sucks. I’m tired of people looking for bailouts and ways to get out of situations. If life screws with you, make some damn adjustments and keep it moving.
That’s why I’ve learned to have no sympathy for anyone in 99% of situations in life. Especially sports fans and that brings me back to Detroit. If you are a Lions fan, its your own damn fault if you feel bad about them losing. No one is forcing you to watch this embarrassment of a team. Find a damn life and move on.
BTW, the Lions are winning one of their final two games.
Cincinnati: Surprising win over Washington. Gave the fans something to cheer about. Actually, screw those fans! I don’t care about the Bengals.
St. Louis: Rams are awful and this is your last chance to see this tremendous video below. Ram it!
Kansas City: This is turning into a “what is Marcel pissed about now” post, but it is what it is. I’m flipping the channels tonight and watching the finale of the Biggest Loser. Look, I don’t want to crap on anyone’s parade…who am I kidding, I like doing that at times. Happy that those people have changed their lives and are getting healthy and all of that crap but I don’t like how such a premium is put on the show on losing X amount of pounds to be considered successful.
Its like, “hey Karen, you lost 70 pounds but Jim lost 75, you lose.” What the hell? We’re so results driven and the process gets stomped on.
Be happy with what you’re working with and don’t let a damn scale determine your worth.
The Chiefs suck too. Lose another lead to San Diego!
Seattle: So the Arena Football League is shutting down for next year. This isn’t good for anybody.
You know what, this post is over. No Marcel, you promised to do a NFL Review so let’s work through it.
Oakland: Damn it, that Hill interview really has me steamed with the woe is me Black athlete stuff. Time to take a deep breath and think about positive things like the Raiders. Honestly, if Penn State can give Paterno a three-year extension when he can be dead by next season, maybe they’re hope for Al Davis turning things around. But getting embarrassed at home by New England isn’t helping.
Jacksonville: Nice win over Green Bay. That’s all I got.
Cleveland: This has been a colossal waste of a season by the Browns. What am I supposed to say about them? Well, that new Natalie Portman commercial about some perfume or diamonds, no clue. OK, its for Coco Chanel apparently. That’s a good looking woman.
San Francisco: Howie Did It has the potential to be an awful show. Didn’t Candid Camera and Punk’d show us all that we need to know from hidden camera shows?
San Diego: These guys are still in the playoff chase. How? Oh yeah a certain team with a quarterback whose picture happens to be above decided to stop playing. We’ll get to them in a moment.
Green Bay: No one should be fired, but 5-9 with that talent shouldn’t be happening.
Houston: Looking forward to the Christmas season. I actually prefer to give gifts than receive them. That’s really true. I’ll have more stuff on this next week. However, the commercialism of it all is unpleasant. Oh, the Texans, good win over Tennessee.
Buffalo: How does that loss happen? Why are you running a roll out play on offense when all you have to do is run the clock out with one of the better running backs in the league? Unbelievable.
New Orleans: Looks like the odd team out of the playoffs.
Chicago: Watching Seinfeld repeats every night at 9 p.m. calms me after bad days and when I’m irritable like tonight. Maybe my favorite George-focused episode. Just try me, I would love it!
Arizona: Not a good omen when Minnesota comes in and beats you like that. I think that they may have been partying it up too much.
Philadelphia: Philly and McNabb are the kings of this move. Play terrible for a few games, rally for a few wins, make the playoffs, lose, start the new season, get the fans mad and the cycle continues. They have the chance to be a 10-win team.
Miami: Do you realize that these guys have nine wins? From one win to nine in one season with two games to play. Amazing.
Washington: I expected the Jim Zorn collapse to happen in the middle of next year but this is early.
If you haven’t seen the video of President Bush being attacked by shoes, its below. Look, I don’t like the guy and all but that was scary.
New England: Winning at Oakland isn’t too impressive. How about those Celtics though. They are defending their championship properly. Rondo has emerged as a major player as well. I don’t see anybody beating these guys over a seven-game series accept maybe Cleveland and the Lakers, and that’s it.
Dallas: I’m not even going to acknowledge the off-field soap opera drama of this team but will say that the defense looked good against the Giants.
Jets: Improbable win by them over the Bills. Speaking of New Jersey, what about the revitalization of Vince Carter and the Nets. They aren’t good, but not awful and Vince Carter has been doing decent. Devin Harris needs to be an All-Star, but back to Vince.
Give me this Vince from 2000 and I would be a happy man.
Broncos: Cutler’s March to Canton is turning into a walk with a slight limp. Just win the division, Jay, just win.
Atlanta: I don’t know if I’m ready to give Matt Ryan the MVP award but his rookie season isn’t the norm.
Tampa: They can either not make the playoffs, lose badly in the playoffs, win two games and face a familiar team in Carolina in the NFC title game or anything else at this stage. I have no idea.
Baltimore/Pittsburgh: Both of these teams are pretty much equal and I don’t see how you can call that Holmes catch a touchdown at the end of the game.
Indy: I’m tired of seeing these guys in the playoffs, but you have to respect their consistency. Between the soap opera in Dallas, the Spygate era in New England, the Giants now dealing with Plaxico, the Packers having the whole Favre saga, San Diego imploding as we speak, Philly and its love/hate relationship with McNabb and now Andy Reid, Seattle becoming very bad especially with Holmgrem leaving, Indy and Pittsburgh are really the solid foundations of the league for the past decade, really.
Carolina: Big game under the bright lights on Sunday night at the Giants. Win this one and they are the NFC favorites. That offense worries me as a Giants fan.
Tennessee: Hopefully these guys haven’t peaked too early. I understand why Fisher went for the fourth down instead of kicking the field goal. I must admit that I didn’t watch the game live and when I look at decisions like Fisher did, I like to know what I would have done at that moment. However, looking at the highlights, I understand the call. Collins just missed the pass. The injuries to the defensive line have to be troublesome.
Giants: That Cowboys game was a culmination of if everything goes wrong at once. The offence was stagnant, runners like Tashard Choice (Georgia Tech, represent!) getting yards on the defense. However, the Giants were still in that game till the end. They are still the favorites in the NFC until Sunday night, maybe.
OK, that may have been my weakest NFL Review this year and sorry for the cranky nature, but if you’re a fan of this blog, you know me by now.
No Crush or Random Observations tonight, I’m going to sleep. Come back tomorrow!
OK, one more song:
